"This is a very effective use of the black as an anchor for the lovely variety of colurs/ fabrics. I've also never seen the chunky churn dash block before. Love how you used the hourglass ones between."

To do the Jewel Box we have a Batik Strip Swap going on and we are using those strips for the Jewel Box. We just started a Charm Square Swap of either a Batik or 100% cotton at http://myquiltplace.com/group/charm-square-swap?xg_source=activity today to use with our Jewel Box Quilt project. Just come on over to join and then you can decide if you want to swap or just do the quilt projects.
